A covering letter is your chance to write in your own words and bring your application to life.
Always tailor this to the job you are applying for – it’s easy to tell when someone has used the same for a number of jobs.
Talk specifically about the employer and why you want to work for them and what you personally can offer based on your skills, experience and drive to learn
